Solution

Arrhenius theory - Compound releasing H⁺ ion on dissolving on water are called acid and compound releasing OH^- are called base.
Limitation - Unable to explain the acidic or basic character of compound which are insoluble in water.
Bronsted-Lowry concept - Compound donate H⁺ ion are called acid and compound except H+ ion are calld base.
Limitation - Unable to explain which compound is acid or base in which hydrogen is absent.
